[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4947836, member: 110350"]Since this was the most comprehensive thread on the "zoo" coins of Gallienus that we've had since I joined CT, I thought I'd add my two newest ones here, instead of beginning a new thread. First, an antelope left: Gallienus, Billon Antoninianus, 267-268 AD, Rome Mint (3rd Officina). Obv. Radiate head right, GALLIENVS AVG / Rev. Antelope walking left, DIANAE CONS AVG; Γ [Gamma = 3rd Officina] in exergue. RIC V-1 181 [p. 146, Obverse 8K], RSC IV 165, Sear RCV III 10200, Wolkow 7a3 [Cédric Wolkow, [I]Catalogue des monnaies romaines - Gallien - L'émission dite "Du Bestiaire" - atelier de Rome[/I] (BNumis, édition 2019)], Göbl MIR [[I]Moneta Imperii Romani[/I]] Band 36, No. 716. 20 mm., 3.59 g., 7 h. [ATTACH=full]1189260[/ATTACH] Second, Pegasus right. I already posted the seller's photos yesterday in [USER=71514]@Pishpash[/USER]'s "Pigasus" thread, but I think these (while I'm sure they're not any better technically) show the reddish coloring a bit better: Gallienus, Billon Antoninianus, 267-268 AD, Rome Mint (1st Officina). Obv. Radiate head right, GALLIENVS AVG /Rev. Pegasus springing right, about to take flight. SOLI CONS AVG; A offset to right in exergue. RIC V-1 283 (p. 155), RSC IV 979, Sear RCV III 10362, Wolkow 26a1[Cédric Wolkow, [I]Catalogue des monnaies romaines - Gallien - L'émission dite "Du Bestiaire" - atelier de Rome[/I] (BNumis, édition 2019)], Göbl MIR [[I]Moneta Imperii Romani[/I]] Band 36, No. 712b. 21 mm., 3.12 g, 11 h. [ATTACH=full]1189261[/ATTACH] That's some shaving rash! [ATTACH=full]1189262[/ATTACH] And here are photos (without detailed descriptions) of the five I already had, giving me a total of seven, out of the 32 different types on the list I posted earlier in this thread. Centaur left w/globe (Apollo, 8th Officina) [ATTACH=full]1189277[/ATTACH] Gryphon left (Apollo, 4th Officina) [ATTACH=full]1189284[/ATTACH] Doe right w/head turned back (Diana, 5th Officina) [ATTACH=full]1189285[/ATTACH] Gazelle right (Diana, 11th Officina) [ATTACH=full]1189286[/ATTACH] Tigress left (Liber Pater, 2nd Officina) [ATTACH=full]1189287[/ATTACH] Detail showing stripes distinguishing tigress variety from the panther: [ATTACH=full]1189288[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
